learning goal 1 (case4) Flashcards
acidity
level of acid in a substances, ability of neurilizing acids, adding OH-
alkalinity
level of base, ability of neutrilizing bases so adding H+
strong acids
HCL, HNO3, H2SO4
weak acids
CH3COOH, H2CO3
strong basrs
NaOH, KOH
wweak base
NH3
buffer capacity
amount of strong acid or strong base that a buffer can neutrialize, without changing the buffer PH
adding strong acid to a buffer
the base in the buffer neutralize the H3O+.
buffer in blood
H2CO3 and HCO3-
wwhen is the buffer so effective
Ph and pKA are around the same value, difference of 1 is maximum
a buffer is
acid and its conugate base, base and its conjugate acid
Ka
equilibrium constant for Acids, a stands for acids,
A (aq) + B (l) ↔ BH+ (aq) + A- (aq)
Ka= [BH+] [A-]/ [A]
[acid/HA]Ka/ [conjugate base/A-]= [H3O+]
Kb
A (aq) + B (l) ↔ AH+ (aq) + B- (aq)Kb= [AH+] [B-]/ [A], also can be written as [base/HB]Kb / [conjugate acid/B-] = [OH-]
the two kind of buffers. Acidic and basic=
amphoteric
acidic buffer
mixing a large volume of a weak acid with its conjugate base
